Salad usually creates an illusion of healthy or non-fattening image, However people usually neglect the fact that salad dressings literally contain loads of hidden calories that you could not imagine. Not to mention the lovely cheese that served with your salad. So when it comes to salad, you have to be very careful at your choice.It is difficult not to spot Dress given its location.

It is difficult not to spot Dress given its location. The store was eye catching with white and green colour. The decor was relatively simple but I do love the real sunflower on the table. In Dress, you could order from a list of set salads or make your own bowl of salad. For customised salad, there are three steps involved. First - chose three toppings from a list of ingredients, Second - chose the kind of salad leaves that you like, Third - chose the salad dressings. The chose range was wide, so it took me quite a while to decide my delicious bowl.
The original price of this 3 steps customisation was just $58, but somehow you have to pay extra for meats or some nicer ingredients. My bowl of salad contains sun dried tomatos, grilled chicken, sweet corn and red pepper with romaine leaves and balsamic vinegar dressing. And guess what, the price on the cashier balance suddenly jumped up to $72! Even though the portion was pretty huge, I was surprised by the shoot up in price. Could I eat less so to pay less?
Anyhow, Dress's salad was quite nice. The ingredients that I have chosen were all very fresh. I particularly like the sundried tomatos, it was very tasteful but a bit too sour though.The service varies from person to person. I was trying to ask questions to this foreign domestic lady at the salad bar about some ingredients. She glanced me for a bit and pointed to the cashier guy and said in a rude attitude, 'I don't know, ask him!' Like I am in her way of cutting the salad leaves. The cashier guy was very helpful and knowledgeable. I wonder if he is the store manager.
Overall it was quite a delight to dine in Dress given the huge portion and the wide range of choice in salad toppings and sauces. If taken all the factors as a whole, it wouldn't be that pricy after all.
